Changes

As the new leadership begins moving in, Liberty County prepares
for its long standing home advantage to the State Representative to be moved to another home county
in the district. Perhaps this is a good thing in one light as it gives the new
leadership in the local party time to rebuild what was burnt to the ground by
the outgoing leadership. In this unique instant, Liberty County GOP can rebuild
with more than a system of old Democrats running a conservative party. Chances
of voter outreach and building of coalitions can begin without the added
pressure of a sitting State Rep. being in the business of the party as well as
a senior staffer of said Rep. serving as a party official. On the other hand,
comments by incoming State Rep. Bailes of "I don't need the Liberty County
Republican Party" upon invites and new leadership reaching out to him, may come back to haunt him in time. Ernest Bailes was the clear winner in the
runoff. As such, the office and Ernest himself, deserves respect. However, if
the one holding that office doesn't respect the enormous gift given to him to
represent an entire district, whether he agrees with them or not, will only
cause hurt feelings of primaries to linger instead of moving on with the
people's business.

Either way, Mr. Bailes has a grueling first session coming
up. Like it or not, like the individuals or not, Liberty County and HD 18 in
general has strong grassroots activists that work the legislative session very hard. That includes people in San Jacinto, Liberty and Walker Counties. The groups vary from Republican Clubs to Tea Parties and others. The key is they all work together for common Conservative advancements over infighting. Their connections flow through many Representatives and Senators besides
'needing Mr. Bailes' if the tables are turned and his attitude is returned to
him. If only some put as much effort in battling liberal agendas as they do in
fighting each other with the same beliefs, great things could come out of the
new leadership in the Statehouse and the local party. Simply listening, with respect, even if Mr.
Bailes disagrees with the context and principle, will go a long way to serve
him and all of HD 18 Republicans. After all, running in two years with a
record, conservative or not, will make a lot of difference.

Liberty County also embraces new Republican leadership and
Democrat leadership in each party here as well. New times and new strategies
are needed. An active Democrat party may be in the beginning stages here. While
Republicans have claimed a solid red plot in Liberty County, do they do so in
principle, or only in riding the Anti-Obama wave? It's a valid question. To say
finding Republicans that were so long before the change is an understatement.
In fact, they can be counted on less than two hands. Incoming leadership finds
itself in a new cycle where they will have to stand on their beliefs and
platform and hope the voters in this county have truly opted into conservatism
and not Democrats who simply like guns and dislike abortion. In effect, some of
those old Republicans that left the party in disgust during the Lester Ray and
Coleman years may need to regain some strength and return to fighting for
Conservative causes. Something the last few chairs have not had to do.
